My Love.

James Russell Lowell.
Not as all other women are
Is she that to my soul is dear;
Ter glorious fancies come from afaT,
Beneath the silver evening star;
And yet her breast is ever near.
Great feelings hath she of Der own,
Which lesser soul may never know;
God giveth TO her alone,
And sweet they are as any tone
Wherewith the wind may chose to blow.
Yet in herself she dwelIeth not.
Although no home were half So fair:
No simplest duty is forgot:
Life hath no dim and lOwly spot
That doth not in her sunshine share.
She doth little kindnesses,
Which most leave undone or despise,
For naueht that sets one heart at ease,
And giveth happiness or peace,
Is low-esteemed in her eyes.
She hath no scorn of common things;
And, though she seems of other birth,
And patiently she folds her wings
To tread the humble paths OF earth.
Blessing she is; God made her so:
And deeds of weekday holiness
Fall from her n0iseless as the snow;
Nor has she ever CHANGED TO know
That aught were easier than TO bless,
she ia most fsir, and thereupto
Her life does rightly harmonic;
Feeling of thought that was not true
Meier made less beautiful the blue
UnClOuded heaven OF her eyes.
She is q woman-one in whom
The springtime of her childish years
Hath never lost its fresh perfume,
Though knowing well that life hath room
For many blights and many tears.
/ love her with love as still
Asa broad rivers peaceful might,
Which, by high tower and lowly mill,
Goes wandering at fits own will,
And yet doth ever flow Alright.
And on its full, deep breast serene,
Lile quiet isles. my duties lie:
II flows around them and between,
And makes them fresh and fair and green
Sweet home wherein to live and die.

How old women should Dress.

It is to be regretted that in the multi
plicity of fashions none are designed es-
pecially for old women. There are two
distinct classes of old women. The first
are stsy-at-homes, who rarely go out ex-
cept to church, but devote the sunset of
their lives to their families and good works.
The second are the worldly danes who
make reverence for age impossible in their
cases. They closely copy all the modes
and are more fidgetty than girls over their
toilets. Fancy the disgust of man seeing
the back Of slight figure lightly and girl
ishly dressed when he finds out on going
around in front, that the face Is wrinkled
and withered with age. Women should
not neglect to charm with dress while they
are young. IL they have any ambition in
that direction, for when they are old they
can't They sheuld also remember that

She stood in the midst of the jeering crowd,
With features dark with scorn.
And eyes dsiiantly, boldly proud,
And skirts bedraggled and torn.
And some women prayed, and some women
frowned
And tossed their heads with a jerk;
And some men pitied, but more turned round
And laughed at their handiwork.
Alike to her both prayer aud jeer,
With clenebed hands alone
She stood, with neither moan nor tear,
e AS mute as a sculptured stone.

Keep Those Banners.

Keep Those Banners.
BY THOMAS 0. SUMMERS, N. D.
From the News Herald, Jacksonville, Fla.
Keep those banners. gashed and glory
Keep them there to tell the story
OF our deeds on fields OF glory
Keep them, keep them, let them resti
Tokens OF q yslor splendid.
Glorious mem 'ries with them blendedI
Keep them for the strife is ended
Keep them, keep them. it is best.
Keep them, we would not unfold them;
Keep them-ye who took them-hoId them,
For the cause that first unrolled them
To the battles breeze is dead.
Keep them, they would only sadden
If, indeed, they would not madden
Southern hearts, with yours they gladden.,
For to win them thousands bled!
While we hail the generous feeling
Which would close the wounds now healing,
Yet this fact is worth revealing
6euthrons do not wsnt their fagsl
Not but that We still approve them,
Not but that we still do love them,
But we would not have you move them,
Keepthe dear old shotpierced rags.
Keep them, yes we would not have them,
Though we fought and bied to save them,
There are none who now would have them,
To disturb our Nations peace.
You TO whom they were surrendered,
BuTying all that strife engendered,
In return your hearts have rendered,
Keep them they are in their place.

Papa's Foot.

You were here at my side last night, dear love-
And my heart is deeply worried
With thoughts of what you have felt, my love,
Since swift from the house you hurried.
] know 1t was not your wish, dear heart,
To leave your bat behind you,
And pa would have worn his heavy boots
Had he known that he would find you.
But he had his carpet slippers on
AS you rushed from my side so madly;
You can come with safety tonight, dear love,
For his foot is swollen badly.

FRAUD UPON FRAUD.
A Remarkable Pension Bill Vetoed
IL.

by the President.
The President ON Saturday returned
10 the House, with his disapproval, a
bill granting pension TO John Reed,
sr. The case Is an extraordinary one,
as will appear by the reasons which the
President assigns for interposing a
veto. He says in his message:
"The records show that the benef.
ciary named in this bill filed an appli.
cation for pension in 1877, alleging
that he was the father of John Reed,
who died in the service, and that his
wife, the mother of the deceased sol.
dier, died May 10, 1872, and that he,
the father, was mainly dependent upon
his son for support. He filed evidence
of the mothers death, and one witness
alleged that he was present at her death,
and attended her funeral. In 1884
Martha Reed, the mother of the sol.
dier, filed her application for pension,
In which she at first claimed to be the
widow of John Reed. She afterward,
however, alleged that her husband,
John Reed, abandoned his fiIiily In
1859, and had not thereafter contrib
uted to their support, and that the sol
dier was her main support after such
abandonment. She was allowed pen.
sion as dependent mother, which com.
menced In 1862, the date Of her son s
death, and seems to have terminated
July %, 1884, when she died.
"Thc claim of the father was re-.
jected in 1888, for the reason that the
mother, who had prior right was still
living, and when his claim was again
pressed In 1886, he was informed that
his abandonment of his family in 1859
precluded the idea that he was entitled
to pension as being dependent upon
the soldier for support. of course,
these decisions were correct In law,
equity, and in morals. This case dem.
onstrates the means employed In at.
tempts to cheat the Government In ap.
plications for pensions-too often sue.
cessful. The allegation In 1871 of the
man who now poses as the aged and
dependent father of dead soldier, that
the mother died In 1872, when al
that time her claim was pending fol-
pension, largely based upon hi:
abandonment; the affidavit of the man
who testified that he saw her die In
1872, the effrontery of this unworthy
father renewing his claim after the dc
lection of his fraud and the actua,
death Of the mother, aud the allegation
of the mother that she was q widow
when, in fact, she was an abandoned
wife, show the processes which enter
into these claims for pensions, and the
boldness with which plans are some
times concocted to rob the Government
by actually traillcking in death and
imposing upon the sacred sentiments OF
patriotism and national gratitude"

Senate In all matters relating to

| He would have the confidence and sup.

doubt or possibility Of question, and he
is clean man. And, then, rs regards
General Joe Hawley, he Is not only n

elements of the country, would be as
